Non Functional 6 O'Clock Subdial on a Chronograph
Yesterday my Canadian built, Chinese guts, very inexpensive chronograph watch took a nose dive. I went to set the time and pulled out the crown and lo and behold the crowd came right out of the watch. Obviously to repair this would be more dollars than I want to spend and finding a watch repairman to repair a Chinese What-ever Caliber is probably more difficult than finding Bin LadenI cannot take credit for that phrase as a Boston Celtic basketball player said that to a kid wanting an autograph (as in you will have an easier time finding Bin Laden than for me to give you an autograph). Long story short, I was kind of toying with the idea of maybe getting another chronograph and in my search I came across some inexpensive chronographs that had a working 3 O'Clock subdial (30 minute timer) and second hand time at the 9 O'Clock station but the 6 O'Clock subdial was described as following normal time and apparently not being a chrono timer but a subdial following the hour hand (if the h

2569/1 Calatrava - enamel dial issue - minute markers
Hi guys,I'm new here, so let me firs introduce myself. My name is Jan form Croatia, I'm a big vintage and contemporary watch collector. Got some nice watches that will be posted in other topics.As a crown of my collection last week came PP 2569/1 in red gold. It was a rare opportunity to get it, mint case, clear movement and dial that made me thinking about it. Then I found many watches with similar dial, one on this forum, and started my research. Many claim it's redial, most without any knowledge about vintage Patek and dial production in 50's. What I found; those dials are made by enamel, so it quite a complicated work with baked dust. One jeweler told me that the only way to make those minute markers was drilling holes in finished dial, by hand explaining the inperfection, and filling them later. His opinion is that corrosion through 60 years made those turquoise color and black rings around. All dials I found look too similar, have too perfect fonts, and are on other parts of the
